I am a seafood lover, and when I go on vacation it's my favorite part of being near the sea. I like tropical vacations, I guess it's from growing up in the North East where it's cold more months of the year than it is hot. For me a getaway means being by the Beach: palm trees, drinks served in coconuts and some kind of seafood = VACATION.

But when there is no time for a getaway, or I'm nowhere near the beach, or just want seafood for dinner I have always turned to Gorton's Seafood, much like the commercials, I do trust the Gorton's Fisherman, it's what I grew up on when I was younger and the brand I still buy today.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Saute onion, pepper and garlicƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Add Chopped/Diced ShrimpƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - A bit before the shrimp are actually done, mix (Sausage, Shrimp, onion, Pepper Garlic) into a bowl, add Mayo, Mustard, worcestershire sauce and balsamic and mix together evenly, I prefer to mix in my Panko, but if you prefer the Panko on top and not mixed into the mixture then go ahead and spoon the mix into your preferred mushrooms (organic, portobello etc), if you prefer Panko mixed in like I do, all you need to do is sprinkle with a little four cheese mix (if you don't like cheese or don't wish to add cheese you can skip this step) and if you didn't mix in the panko, you would now put it on top of the mushrooms.

Serving Suggestion: You can plate them with sliced lemon as shown above. If you do not eat meat you can omit the sausage and just add extra veggies!

I also used the Gorton's Tilapia to make Fish Tacos, and those definitely went over well!

These can also be made with the Crunchy Breaded Tilapia Fillets for a bolder, crunchier taco!

@Becca Ann - I love Lobster, have yet to visit Maine, but I'm thinking of hitting the Lobster Festival this summer! I may have to reach out to you for suggestions on where to stay and what to do while in Maine!

Thank you for the chance. I LOVE crispy cod and halibit filets. I'm also a huge shrimp fan, especially grilled or fried. My daughter also loves seafood. We were looking at some of the Gortons products yesterday.

My favorite seafood is Shrimp, Lobster and Crab. They all taste great even if you only steam them and dip them in a little butter sauce, but there are so many many delicious things you can make with any one of them.
